The hard clam or quahog, Mercenaria mercenaria is a bivalve mollusc native to the eastern shores of North America, from Prince Edward Island to the Yucatán Peninsula. Older sources may give it the systematic name Venus mercenaria. It is one of many unrelated bivalves referred to as clams.

This is gorgeous. The shell of this native clam looks particularly hardy.

Chris Seufert says:

You're right Christine. This is a hard shell clam and makes great stuffed Quahogs or chowder. We have some great soft shell clams, Monomoy Steamers, in particular, that are generally dipped in melted butter with a keg of beer on the side.

Excellent macro shot! A question to non-cape-natives - do you know how to pronounce Quahog? (and they are yummy, especially stuffed.)
